| Abstract | Wireless sensor networks consist of a large number of sensor nodes, each of which senses, computes and communicates with other nodes to collect and process data about the environment. Those networks are emerging as one of the new paradigms in networking with great impact on industry, government and military applications. A sensor network attempts to collect sensing data from the entire domain of its deployment, to process this data to understand phenomena and activities going on in this domain, and finally to communicate the results to the outside world to enable actuators to execute the necessary reactions. However, a sensor node is only capable of sensing events within its limited sensing range, so it has only a localized information about its environment. Hence, to provide the coverage of the entire domain, sensors need to collaborate and share their information with each other. Such sharing increases the knowledge of each sensor about the environment, but it also brings extra communication cost and increases the network operation complexity. In other words, cooperation and data sharing invokes a cost-quality tradeoff in the network. In this paper, we study two different sensor network applications: (i) finding an efficient sleep schedule based on sensing coverage redundancy, and (ii) adjusting traffic light periods to optimize traffic flow. In both applications the cost-quality tradeoff arises. In the paper, we study how fast network functionality increases when the level of cooperation raises and how much this increased functionality is offset by the raising cooperation costs. We simulated both applications with different level of cooperation and without it and demonstrated significant improvements in the overall system quality resulting from the properly selected levels of cooperation between the network's nodes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
